As kids, I’m sure most of us would have got an earful from our parents for eating a lot of chocolates. And why not, most of us would finish a pack of it in no time. Chocolates have always been considered harmful unless taken in limited quantities. However, the benefits …

Whenever I’m on a holiday, I always prefer to venture out and explore the local delicacies. Be it the Kachori at Samrat in Jaipur or Chai in Lucknow, I always love to eat what the locals relish. However, that isn’t possible always, especially when you are on a work trip …

If you are working in a typical IT company, you would have seen cubicles. For the last 7 years, I have worked in one. Blue coloured walls with a whiteboard and a computer/laptop – that’s where most of the IT guys work from. Thanks to the pandemic, most of us …

Being a foodie, I dine at all sorts of places. From food carts to luxurious dining, I enjoy the experience that each of them has to offer. I started out as a buffet fan, turned into a la carte one. And one of the things that I didn’t find justified …

Having stayed in Hyderabad for almost 10 years now, I know that there’s so much more to regional cuisine in Andhra and Telangana. There are quite a few restaurants in the city that serve authentic regional cuisines and one of them is Telangana Spice Kitchen. Some time back, I had …
